Final Portfolio Project Draft

 

Please submit a draft of your final project for review. Final submissions are due during week 15 (from the week 15 content folder)

Final Project Prompt: 

The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (1-2 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 5-8 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 7-10 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 5-8 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles from the UC library to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Assignment: Research: Mastering Data Visualizations

  1. Background: According to Kirk (2019), annotations, colors, and composition will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with the delicate balance of each. This then leads to a functional harmony of presentability and usefulness as you master data visualizations. The harmony of annotations, colors, and composition you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.
    Assignment: After reviewing chapters 8-10, write a research paper that contains the following:

    • Discuss the impact of including headings and introductions in technical presentations
    • Discuss the importance of chart labeling, captions, references, and footnotes
      • Be sure to include the applicability of each
      • Also, detail the specific instances where chart labeling, captions, references, and footnotes are required
    • Discuss typography and the importance of the appearance of text
    • Discuss the balance between functional decorations and optimizing data legibility in your charts, including: 
      • Complementary colors
      • Analogous colors
      • Triadic colors
    • Discuss presentation layout, arrangement, and sizing
    • Your research paper should be at least 5 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.
      Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

Assignment

 

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and backup your responses with facts and examples. This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references 600 words .

One of the big challenges with cloud-based reputation checks is performance. Users do not typically want to wait a few seconds while the reputation of potential URLs is checked. Most of us have come to expect that websites are at the immediate tips of our fingers and that access and loading of the content should take place rapidly and immediately. This presents a tricky security problem. Since the reputation service exists in the cloud, the challenge can be summed up as, “How can a reputation be securely retrieved without slowing Web access down so much as to create a poor user experience?”

short answer

 

Please respond to the following:

  • As a team leader for a development group, one of your responsibilities is to identify and suggest new technologies. You believe jQuery is a technology that can be evaluated. List and explain at least three benefits that jQuery provides to web design and development. Select one benefit and include the URL of a website that uses this feature. Explain how the feature is being used on the website.
  • Flesh out your thoughts and interact with your classmates. Post your initial response by Wednesday each week and then return on a couple of other days to see what’s going on with the discussions. 

Chapter 8

 

Chapter 8  discusses the concept of collection. Assume that An agency has focused its system development and critical infrastructure data collection efforts on separate engineering management systems for different types of assets and is working on the integration of these systems. In this case, the agency focused on the data collection for two types of assets: water treatment and natural gas delivery management facilities. Please identify what type of critical infrastructure data collection is needed for pavement and storm water management facilities. 

To complete this assignment, you must do the following:

A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, identify what type of critical infrastructure data collection is needed for pavement and storm water management facilities. 

B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.
 

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)

Discuss Howell and Mendez’s three perspectives on followership. Note how these behaviors influence work productivity.

 

Week 15 Discussion

After completing the reading this week, we reflect on a few key concepts this week:

Discuss Howell and Mendez’s three perspectives on follower-ship. Note how these behaviors influence work productivity.

What is the big five personality model?

What is the Myers-Briggs test? How is it similar to the Big five model? How is it different than the Big five model?

Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post.

Please ensure the initial post and two response posts are substantive. Substantive posts will do at least TWO of the following:

Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic

Expand on the topic, by adding additional thoughtful information

Answer a question posted by another student in detail

Share an applicable personal experience

Provide an outside source

Make an argument

At least one scholarly (peer-reviewed) resource should be used in the initial discussion thread. Please ensure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use APA references and in-text citations.
